> Who will win ?
Depends on the nature of the contest.... Number of units produced? Production cost? MPG? Rear seat legroom? Cost? Warranty? Number of airbags? Cost to repair? Number of doors? Ease of parking? Top Speed? Ground clearance? Average life expectancy? Cargo capacity? Weight? Firepower? I'm willing to bet in a fair head to head pros vs. cons of each, I'd bet on Hyundai. |
Re: Hyundai vs. Abrams M1A2
What about front and side crash tests? I think the Abrams has a slight edge!
Plus you never have to rotate the tires!

You can park damn well where ever you please, even on top of someone else's car. I'll take my Tibby, it's more in my price range (what would the liability insurance on an Abrams be anyways? 3-4 million?). > "The Steven" <Steven_Vohl@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:zaVld.9692$tI3.6143@trndny01... >>> Who will win ? >> >> Depends on the nature of the contest.... >> >> Number of units produced? >> Production cost? >> MPG? >> Rear seat legroom? >> Cost? >> Warranty? >> Number of airbags? >> Cost to repair? >> Number of doors? >> Ease of parking? >> Top Speed? >> Ground clearance? >> Average life expectancy? >> Cargo capacity? >> Weight? >> Firepower? >> >> I'm willing to bet in a fair head to head pros vs. cons of each, I'd bet >> on Hyundai. >> > > |

Even higher if you have any shells for the main gun :-) FWIW, I saw somewhere online (link lost; my history expires after 10 days) that (mean number of claims)*(mean cost of claim) for a Tiburon is 202 (average for all cars in the "2-door small" class is 100). The only car that gets a higher number is the Acura NSX. This is one reason why you pay so much to insure a Tiburon. (I guess the numbers are so high because it's a relatively cheap car, so there are a lot of high-school kids driving Tibs. Sigh.) -- Matt G|There is no Darkness in eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see Hire me! http://crow202.dyndns.org/~mhgraham/resume/ The early bird who catches the worm works for someone who comes in late and owns the worm farm. --Travis McGee |

You could not buy one there until recently, and hence, we suffered a rash of thefts. Not so much now, but the damage has been done. Further, there are ALOT more kids driving suped up Civics then Tibs (both sides of the border), and yet a Civic is alot cheaper on insurance. I would be more interested in seeing the number of speeding tickets issued against Tibs, or actual vehicle accidents... > -- > Matt G|There is no Darkness in eternity/But only Light too dim for us to > see > Hire me! http://crow202.dyndns.org/~mhgraham/resume/ > The early bird who catches the worm works for someone who comes in late > and owns the worm farm. --Travis McGee |
